Advocacy
BATP’s Advocacy Services assist clients who are enrolled in our non shelter services and are seeking recovery from abuse. Victim Advocates, assist clients with obtaining legal and community wide resources to meet their individual needs. Advocacy services include education of victims’ rights, assistance filing for charges and protective orders, support in emergency and non-emergency accompaniments, and referrals to legal/social service providers. Through advocacy services, clients are able to connect with many supportive services to include case management, individual and group counseling and housing services as needed.
Chambers County Counseling/ Advocacy Services
Our Chambers County satellite office is an extension of our main office providing counseling services and advocacy work for survivors of domestic and sexual violence. Chambers County counseling services work progressively with both adults and children to meet their mental health needs. Services are provided at our satellite office, local schools such as Anahuac and Barbers Hill ISD, or via telephone/ Skype. Chambers advocacy work stretches into many different areas of helping survivors. We work hard to help clients with protective orders, police reports, SANE exams, financial aid, food, clothing, and support throughout the entire road to recovery from their situations. Survivor services have proven to be a critical need for rural areas such as Chambers County and BATP is constantly evaluating and working to meet the need.
